As does 1883. Essentially a 2022 show also.

Reply to Just finished better call Saul. Absolutely loved it; but can’t stop comparing it to breaking bad and can’t decide which one is the better show. by [deleted]
Breaking Bad was the best show of all time when it was released imo.
But Better Call Saul reached a new level. It is basically Breaking Bad with an even more impressive writing and cinematography.

Family Matters didn't last a decade, IIRC, and Reginald VelJohnson (Carl) was signed by Progressive's ad agency because of the show's icon status. The others cited either weren't interested or their agents were asking too much money.

Better Call Saul S05 was my #1 of 2020 if that helps.
Yep

Yep. Westworld s4 was the show HBO had on the air right before House of the Dragon took over that timeslot.

> 9. The Rings of Power
Good list, but I gotta disagree with this one. Over Better Call Saul too (or is the list not ranked?)
> 19. West World (4)
This was 2022?

New girl is just friends hanging out. It's from 2011.
Big bang theory, how I met your father, that 90s show, fresh of the boat, derry girls.

I love Saul, but last season wasn't my favorite. It should still probably be higher.
I'll give Poker Face a shot :)

28. The Terminal List
29. Reacher

i love almost every single one of those, especially your top 10, but i think Better Call Saul should be top 5, and LOVED the Offer too...but there are a few missing on your list, and I am guessing its because you haven't seen it...Reacher and Tulsa King
And btw, Poker Face is my favorite of 2013 , so far...
​
Rings of Power...nope

Yes it does.
> There’s still only about the same number of people capable of making something good.
And the great thing about having more outlets is your discover more.

I think it's like the internet. Just because you have all this access and connection at your fingertips doesn't mean everyone is getting closer together. Quite the contrary in fact.

Not even entirely joking here: people have less friends today. Most of their relationships outside of family now are workplace related.

More outlets doesn’t make more artists. If the networks paid for 60 shows one year and only 25 of them were good, the fact that they paid for 180 shows the next year doesn’t mean 75 of them will be good. There’s still only about the same number of people capable of making something good. Either those folks are gonna stay clumped and make pretty much the same number of good shows, or they’re going to spread out, get outvoted by less good people on their new projects, and the number of good shows will go down.
